Prout Voted Colorado Mammoth Captain

from press release

DENVER – The Colorado Mammoth announced
Monday that forward Gavin Prout, who was the team's captain from
2006-2009, was voted by teammates and coaches to once again don the
captain's 'C' on his chest. Forward John Grant Jr., who served as
an assistant captain in 2011, will share that honor with defenseman
Jon Sullivan, an off-season acquisition.

"Gavin led the team to the Champion's Cup in 2006, and knows the
privilege and responsibilities associated with being the captain,"
said Mammoth Head Coach Bob Hamley. "I expect that Gavin and the
assistants, as well as other veterans, will serve as great leaders
to the rest of team."

The team's all-time leader in career points (540) in a Mammoth
uniform, Prout has appeared in 102 regular-season games and nine
playoff games with Colorado. He is currently just two points shy of
800 for his career, and was re-acquired by the Mammoth from the
Edmonton Rush on March 15, 2011 via trade.

Grant, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest lacrosse
players of all-time, is just 23 points shy of 1,000 and 31 goals
from 500 for his career. The former National Lacrosse League MVP
led the Mammoth in goals (36), assists (47), and points (83) in his
first season with the team in 2011.

Sullivan, a 29-year-old St. Catharine's, Ontario native, was one
of three players acquired by the Mammoth from the Minnesota Swarm
in a September trade. A gold-medal winner at the 2011 World Indoor
Lacrosse Championships with Team Canada, Sullivan has appeared in
104 career NLL games, all with the Swarm.
